If the movement Malvern-based Zonoff is a part of continues as expected, residences will be remarkably transformed in the coming years.

“The idea is to create an intuitive home,” Zonoff Chief Marketing Officer Bob Cooper said. “It’s that your home knows what you’re interested in, what you do and what your priorities are.”

Zonoff, which began in 2011 under the guidance of CEO and serial entrepreneur Mike Harris, produces software for hubs that can tie a growing list of home appliances and functions together, all wirelessly controlled by a tablet or smartphone.

Contained within the company’s Malvern offices is a demo unit displaying some of the uses of its technology. It includes programmable lights, door locks, blinds, a thermostat, TV, retractable porch awning and more, all from major manufacturers who have recognized the growing home automation industry.

“What we do is provide the software in the middle so they can talk to each other and tie them together,” Cooper said.

Zonoff is the latest venture for Harris, who earlier in his career founded Ravisent Technologies, a DVD pioneering company that ultimately hit the $1 billion valuation mark on the NASDAQ market. After working as global software strategy vice president of the company that acquired Ravisent, Harris was president of Digital 5, a software provider enabling streaming media content within a connected home, and then served in the same role for OpenPeak, which specialized in home media control software.

In 2006, Harris launched AnySource Media, which gave investors a 400 percent return on investment when it was purchased by DivX (now a part of Rovi) three years later. The software created by AnySource can be found in LG TVs and Blu-Ray players.

After that 2009 sale, Harris contemplated his next move, and decided on home automation. He eventually met up with the founders of BuLogics, a wireless mesh networking technology created in the Philadelphia area in 2003. Harris liked what he saw, and acquired the product that became the foundation of Zonoff.

“The nice part was that we could start right away,” Harris said. “We had the technology, raised a little bit of money and used that to get things running.”

A few months after opening, Zonoff partnered with Somfy, the world’s largest maker of window covering motors, which used the technology to launch its TaHomA home automation control system.

Unlike most companies, Zonoff’s goal is not to create a well-known consumer brand, but to sell its technology to electronic device makers, service providers and retailers who provide home-connecting products and services.

“What we’ve focused on is a strategy that’s been very successful for us for the last 20 years, and that’s to work with big-name companies that already have well-known consumer brands and distribution channels,” Harris said.

Features of the technology include the ability to program full home settings for when you get up, get home or go to bed. It includes the capability of specified solutions for homes with kids, the elderly or pets. Based on individual need or desire, and with over 1,500 compatible products on the market, options and combinations are virtually limitless.

“It’s anything you can literally think of,” Harris said.

While outfitting a customized home used to cost tens of thousands of dollars, with the growth of wireless systems like Zonoff, it has now become affordable for more than just the wealthy.

“Now you can get started with $150,” Harris said. “After that, you can decide how far you want to go.”

Zonoff recently raised $3.8 million from two venture capitalists in the Washington D.C. area, and expects to announce two new large-scale partnerships by the start of the fourth quarter this year.

With increased business comes a bigger workforce.

“We have grown from our initial team of seven to 25 now,” Harris said. “Now we’re facing the good problem of too many customers. It wouldn’t surprise me to see that number of employees double in fairly short order.”
